Lots of work and little sleep

So I have lost about 24 hrs of sleep in the last week, while working two jobs doing part-time school and working on this festival. All I can say is that I am so very excited to complete my project and view everyone else’s. I love Sci-fi and have waited for the chance to do this kind of project. It looks like I have less sleep to come and thats ok because I am motivated by the DVX, sorry for the ramblings of a man with little sleep, but I can hardly contain myself anymore.

It's times like this I'm glad I only work 5 hours a week. :)
Spent a month and a half straight doing this flick, from writing to shooting to CG to sound to scoring... loving every minute of it. I finally got to do some sci-fi after 3 consecutive dramas!

Can't wait to show you guys... it's a doozy. Can't wait to see everyone else's, too! Just wish I had more posts to vote...
 
Does anyone get the "my eye's are burning out of my skull feeling" when up late editing? I know I do.
 
I hear ya Dark... I don't think I get to bed before 4am this week... encoded finished product to mpeg-2 last night, so slept til noon today :thumbsup:
 
I decided to work fewer hours at my job for the month of January so I could work on this movie. (Not that I needed an excuse to not go to work).
 
still workin'. done with sound <ok a couple more tweaks to even it all out> then on to color correcting. followed by rendering...the end is in sight! ps- who has a progress bar in their constant field of vision right now?!
 
Seriously considering calling in to work sick tomorrow, but no real need to since I only show up for about 4-5 hours of actual work anyway.

My family and I were all RECITING the short tonight as we watched it -- LOL -- and yes, I've heard it in my head while trying to sleep and while trying to do just about anything else for the last week! :grin:
 
I'm rendering on 3 computers right now to get this thing done. Two up here and one at my sister's house in SC. Man this is gonna be close, but I'm circus! :)
